Remember, animals don't obey traffic laws. Always drive carefully and stay alert for deer crossing! #BeTheDriver #RoadsideSafety #DeerCrossing

If you see a stopped vehicle with flashing lights, give them space. Can’t move over? Slow down. It’s the law — and it saves lives!"

With shorter days & darker roads, reduced visibility makes fall driving more dangerous. The risks skyrocket when you include alcohol. In fact, impaired driving accounts for nearly a third of deaths on the road. Make the safer call & plan a ride before you head out this fall.

Harvest time has arrived in Maryland. You will see farm vehicles on our roads. These vehicles may travel significantly under posted speed limits—between 5 & 15 miles per hour. Be patient & watch for hand signals—they will often signal when it’s safe to pass. @FindMeDriving

🚸 Kids don't always watch for traffic. That’s why we need all motorists who do. Yellow school bus lights = slow down. Red = stop. Simple steps save lives.

Don't rush past a school bus’s flashing red lights — give kids a “brake.” 🛑🚌 Their safety is worth the wait. #SchoolBusSafety #BeTheDriver

🚸 It’s more than a big yellow bus — it’s a promise to bring kids home safe. When the lights flash red, stop and help keep that promise. 🛑🚌

🚸 Kids may not be watching for you — so you need to watch for them. When a school bus stops and red lights flash, Maryland law says you must stop at least 20 feet away. 🛑🚌 Their safety comes first. #BackToSchool #BeTheDriver
